About Me

At a "late age", after moving to Canada, and with a background in the arts, I embarked on a new "career." I didn't imagine at the time how far it would take me- physically, metaphorically, and... financially :)
Here is my usual blurb:
I am fond of using familiar ornamented “retro” patterns, almost kitschy wall-paper like designs, which typically appear in fabrics, ribbons and laces. I use these textured patterns alongside woven silver to capture the softness, fluidity, and airy nature of knitted textiles. I tend to work with simple forms, and strive to reach the meeting point of beauty and intrigue.
